Locations
Athens, Crete, and Thessaloniki are the most popular destinations for TEFL programs in Greece. Over 3,000 years old, the Greek capital of Athens has a ton of private language schools, so there are also many TEFL programs offered in Athens, that can easily transition to a teaching placement quickly. An important European financial hub, even with its recent struggles, the infrastructure of Athens (thanks in part to the Olympics) provides teachers with a secure environment. With a solid transportation system and beaches nearby, TEFL programs in Athens make it easy for teachers to explore the rest of Greece and enjoy their free time.
Crete, an island of Greece, runs more like a distinct country in many ways. Characterized by a contrasting landscape from the beaches and the sea, to mountains, caves, and gorges, the island also boasts not only agricultural communities, but also a cosmopolitan center. In Crete, the old city of Chania or Hania is a common destination for TEFL programs in Crete. Though a tourist destination as well, there are opportunities to teach English in small villages where the Cretan dialect is still spoken. And because of tourism, many locals are looking to improve their English skills so private language schools are often looking to hire English teachers.
Thessaloniki is a walkable city that is home to many international students and considered Greece’s cultural capital. With Byzantine churches, and Roman, Ottoman, and Muslim style architecture, Greece’s second largest city provides TEFL programs where participants will have a chance to dig deep into history within a big city environment.
If you’d prefer to get away to rural areas of Greece, like the island of Los in the Cyclades, there are TEFL programs there too. No matter where participants decide to complete their TEFL certification in Greece, they will have the chance to visit the Acropolis in Athens, explore the Palace of Knossos in Crete, and travel to the Ottoman monuments in Thessaloniki.
